[F] [C] [Dm] [G]
[C] [Am] [C]
[Am] [Fm] [C] [Dm]
[F] [C] [G]
[C] Why can I smell, why even [F] angels' murderous air,
To [C] send His love upon the [Dm] souls of [G] men?
For why, [C] as shepherds, need you seek [F] the vultures,
To [E] bring [G] them [C] back, they know not [Dm] how [C] or when?
But [Am] this I know, [F] that He was [C] born of Mary,
[Am] And that worth the [Em] creature [F] was His [C] [Dm] only goal,
[G] And that [C] He heard [Ab] the [Am] [F] serpents [C] and they [Abm] purred.
[C] And so the Savior, Savior [F] of [G] [C]
[G] [C] us all,
How silently [F] He suffered,
As with [C] His peace [Am] He graced His place [Dm] of [G] kings.
[C] Nor how His heart upon the cross [F] was broken,
[Dm] [C] Nor how His heart upon the cross was broken, Of pain, [F] seriously and [G] brutally.
[C]
[G] But this [Am] I know, [F] He hears the [C] brokenhearted,
[G] [E] And stays [Am] our sin, [F] and comes our [Dm] lurking thief,
[G] And lifts [C] the burden [Am] of [F] the [C] heavy [Gb] laden.
[Fm] For still [C] the Savior, Savior [Dm] of the [C] world is near.
[G] I [C] cannot tell how all the [F] lands shall worship,
[C] When at His feet [Am] every [Dm] storm is [G] sling.
[C] For [G] who [C] can say how great the true [F]
relation,
When [Am] all [C] our hearts with love for [G] Him [C] are filled?
[Am] But this I know, [F] the skies shall sound [C] His praises,
[G] Ten [E] [Am] thousand flowers [F] and human [Dm] voices sing,
[G] All the world [C] to know,
[E] [Am] and yet [F] the world [C] will answer,
[Am] [D] At last [C] the Savior, [G] Savior of all [C] is near.
